Born in a South Wales. Graduated from UWIC in 2000 with 1st class Honours in Ceramics.
Jane mainly works in Raku, using a slip resist technique "naked raku", slip and glaze are applied to the once fired pot then it is put back into the kiln, removed when the glaze is molten, placed into sawdust and sealed, (reduction chamber) the carbon is sucked into the pot. The glaze is removed leaving only the magic of the smoke. The lustre's are produced when a thin layer of metal oxide is applied and reduced, the oxide returns to its original metal e.g. copper. All the work is wheel thrown.
